The couple who saved a newborn baby’s life in Merced, California are planning to adopt the baby girl found abandoned in their apartment building’s dumpster last week.
Jimmy and Annette Alvarez found the little girl after hearing Jorge Miranda scream around 5:45am at the Sunnyside Apartment Complex last Thursday.
Jimmy immediately wrapped the baby in his t-shirt and his wife warmed her up with her hands, which led the child to take a deep breath and come back to life.
Police have since identified the baby’s mother as a 13-year-old girl who is bound for Child Protective Services.

The Alvarezes, former foster parents who have 37 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, now plan to become parents again after filing papers to adopt the little girl they’ve named Milagro – Spanish for ‘miracle’.
Mr Alvarez described the heartbreaking moment he found baby Milagro to the Merced Sun-Star.
Jorge Miranda was looking through the trash bin for cans and bottles early that morning when he found the hours-old baby under discarded pizza boxes and plastic trash bags.
